About T.J. Julka Construction
What Separates Us From The Rest
“Real craftsmanship, regardless of the skill involved, reflects real caring, and real caring reflects our attitude about ourselves, about our fellowmen, and about life.”
~ Spencer W. Kimball
Hi, I’m Tyler Julka
I grew up in rural Wisconsin and while helping my parents take care of our property, I developed an appreciation for landscapes and discovered the satisfaction after a hard day’s work.
In high school and college I found a passion for carpentry and business. I love the smell of sawdust in the morning. After earning my degree, I was called by the powers that be to work with my hands. Framing homes gave me exposure to many other trades. I’ve been fortunate enough to work as a finish carpenter on some of the finest homes in LA - honing my skills.
Outdoor wood structure - we find this type of work to be our sweet spot. We see builds progress quickly and bring a craftsman’s eye for detail to outdoor living spaces. grateful to be presented with many opportunities to solve problems and improve quality of life for our clients by increasing the beauty and functionality of their homes. We look forward to bringing your vision to life!
My Work Philosophy
Many diverse life experiences, interests, and over a decade in the construction industry have shaped the way I approach my craft. My philosophy is similar to that of our company values, but on a more personal level.
Constant Personal Development
Every day, I am competing with myself to become better than I was the day before. I believe there are no mistakes in life, only lessons, and try to always view failures from a the perspective of “what can I learn from this?” Minor improvements on a daily basis feels like a slow process, but it’s satisfying to look back on past work and see my growth through the years.
Blend Form and Function
The goal of every project is not only to create something beautiful, but serves its purpose and long lasting. Great value is placed on work that is aesthetically appealing, highly functional, and will stand the test of time. In order to achieve this goal, designs are thoughtfully planned and proper construction techniques must be taken into consideration.
View Work As Play
Construction is serious business, but when you love what you do and stay curious it can be enjoyed like a game. It’s a dance between the sciences and art, physical power and mental faculties. Like any activity you do, an easy going and lighthearted nature will be reflected in the work.
Professionalize Industry
A personal goal of mine is to change the way we all view the skilled trades. I understand trustworthy and qualified contractors are hard to find, but they are out there. It starts with sharing our knowledge to provide a different experience to clients than they are used to. On my site you’ll find a lot of information to aid in making the best decision for you.
The Golden Rule
Treat others as you would like to be treated. Mutual respect is the cornerstone to any good relationship, business or otherwise. I believe if you put others first and give more than you receive, happiness will follow.
